3M Specialty Tape

3M™ specialty tape products cover a variety of everyday and professional applications, including industrial, construction, and craft projects. Compared to general-purpose adhesives, these long-lasting tapes offer superior performance on a range of surfaces. Staples® carries a wide selection of specialty tape and dispensers from 3M for packaging, display-building, and heavy-duty tasks.

Choose 3M Specialty Tape for a Range of Projects
3M specialty tapes work well for a variety of needs. Double-sided tape features medium and high-tack surfaces on one side, offering semi-permanent to permanent adhesion to walls and other flat surfaces. On the reverse, lighter tack glues allow users to quickly reposition or swap out items, making them ideal for temporary retail displays and art exhibits. Transfer and film tapes let you smoothly and securely apply auto decals, electronic components, and decorative trim to a range of surfaces, including glass, sealed wood, and metal. Many transfer tapes offer excellent UV and chemical resistance, ensuring years of reliable performance in indoor and outdoor environments.

Industrial-Strength 3M Specialty Tapes Offer Enhanced Durability
3M’s line of industrial tapes are designed for heavy-duty tasks. Puncture, flame, and tear-resistant aluminum foil tapes withstand extreme temperatures, making them highly suitable for duct work, wire insulation, and cable mounting purposes. Ultra-durable vinyl tapes adhere to a variety of flooring surfaces so users can easily mark off safety zones and specially-designated areas. Many vinyl tapes feature reinforced materials, offering enhanced resistance against scuffing, abrasion, and chemical exposure. Other styles include static-resistant, splicing, plumbing, and joint tapes.

Get Creative With 3M Specialty Tape
Specialty tapes help bring hobby and craft projects to life. Foam tapes work well for building 3D displays and eye-catching directional signage. Fabric tapes permanently bond materials together without a sewing machine or iron, helping you quickly tackle hemming and quilting projects. Satin tapes add a touch of class to wrapped gifts, scrapbook pages, and bulletin boards. Book tapes repair and protect bound materials, extending their service for years to come.

Businesses Save Big on Bulk Quantities of 3M Specialty Tape
Stocking up on bulk packs of tape saves do-it-yourself experts, professional contractors, and artists valuable time and money. Keeping plenty of extra materials on hand means never running low on frequently-used home and office products so you can focus on serving customers and growing a thriving business.

Is Aluminum Foil 3M Specialty Tape Recyclable?
Due to the use of extra-strength adhesives in aluminum, metallic, and foil tapes, these items are not recyclable. Users should carefully dispose of tapes exposed to hazardous chemicals, taking them to a specialty waste facility or hazardous material collection event for safe and responsible handling.

Which 3M Specialty Tapes Work for Memory Album Projects?
Acid-free scrapbook tapes work well for art projects, photo albums, and classroom crafts. Archival-safe adhesives help keep photos and artwork in pristine condition, preserving treasured memories for future generations.

Does 3M Specialty Tape Residue Damage Surfaces?
Depending on the surface, sticky residue removes easily with soap and water, mineral oil, or specialty solvents. To ensure optimal removal, users may want to consult with a contractor or home improvement expert for safe removal techniques and recommended cleaning products. Users should note, some 3M specialty tapes feature strong adhesives that may pull loose paint or paneling away from walls and furniture, so take extra care to gently remove the tape from these delicate surfaces.
